Description/Molecular Apoptosis-Inducing Factor, Mitochondrion-Associated, 1 (AIFM1) is a mitochondrial protein which Mass: translocates to the nucleus once apoptosis has been initiated. AIFM1 causes DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation and also triggers the release of cytochrome c and caspase-9 from mitochondria. Bcl-2 overexpression prevents the release of AIFM1 from mitochondria, but doesn’t block its apoptogenic activity. AIFM1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 537 amino acids (98-609) and having a molecular mass of 58.5 kDa. AIFM1 is fused to a 25 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. Format: The AIFM1 solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.1M NaCl and 10% glycerol. Storage: Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

While its lethal role is well known, the details of its mitochondrial function remain elusive. So far, nineteen allelic variants of AIF have been associated to human diseases, mainly affecting the nervous system. A strict correlation is emerging between the degree of impairment of its ability to stabilize the charge- transfer (CT) complex between FAD and NAD+ and the severity of the resulting pathology. Recently, we demonstrated that the G307E replacement in murine AIF (equivalent to the pathogenic G308E in the human protein) dramatically decreases the rate of CT complex formation through the destabilization of the flavoprotein interaction with NAD(H).

Mir-17-92 Fine-Tunes MYC Expression and Function to Ensure
ARTICLE Received 31 Mar 2015 | Accepted 22 Sep 2015 | Published 10 Nov 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms9725 OPEN miR-17-92 fine-tunes MYC expression and function to ensure optimal B cell lymphoma growth Marija Mihailovich1, Michael Bremang1, Valeria Spadotto1, Daniele Musiani1, Elena Vitale1, Gabriele Varano2,w, Federico Zambelli3, Francesco M. Mancuso1,w, David A. Cairns1,w, Giulio Pavesi3, Stefano Casola2 & Tiziana Bonaldi1 The synergism between c-MYC and miR-17-19b, a truncated version of the miR-17-92 cluster, is well-documented during tumor initiation. However, little is known about miR-17-19b function in established cancers. Here we investigate the role of miR-17-19b in c-MYC-driven lymphomas by integrating SILAC-based quantitative proteomics, transcriptomics and 30 untranslated region (UTR) analysis upon miR-17-19b overexpression. We identify over one hundred miR-17-19b targets, of which 40% are co-regulated by c-MYC. Downregulation of a new miR-17/20 target, checkpoint kinase 2 (Chek2), increases the recruitment of HuR to c- MYC transcripts, resulting in the inhibition of c-MYC translation and thus interfering with in vivo tumor growth. Hence, in established lymphomas, miR-17-19b fine-tunes c-MYC activity through a tight control of its function and expression, ultimately ensuring cancer cell homeostasis. Our data highlight the plasticity of miRNA function, reflecting changes in the mRNA landscape and 30 UTR shortening at different stages of tumorigenesis. 1 Department of Experimental Oncology, European Institute of Oncology, Via Adamello 16, Milan 20139, Italy. 2 Units of Genetics of B cells and lymphomas, IFOM, FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology Foundation, Milan 20139, Italy.

Methods: We performed WES in 113 MD suspected patients from Polish paediatric reference centre, in whom routine testing failed to identify a molecular defect. WES was performed using TruSeqExome enrichment, followed by variant prioritization, validation by Sanger sequencing, and segregation with the disease phenotype in the family. Results: Likely causative mutations were identified in 67 (59.3 %) patients; these included variants in mtDNA (6 patients) and nDNA: X-linked (9 patients), autosomal dominant (5 patients), and autosomal recessive (47 patients, 11 homozygotes). Novel variants accounted for 50.5 % (50/99) of all detected changes. In 47 patients, changes in 31 MD-related genes (ACAD9, ADCK3, AIFM1, CLPB, COX10, DLD, EARS2, FBXL4, MTATP6, MTFMT, MTND1, MTND3, MTND5, NAXE, NDUFS6, NDUFS7, NDUFV1, OPA1, PARS2, PC, PDHA1, POLG, RARS2, RRM2B, SCO2, SERAC1, SLC19A3, SLC25A12, TAZ, TMEM126B, VARS2) were identified. The ACAD9, CLPB, FBXL4, PDHA1 genes recurred more than twice suggesting higher general/ethnic prevalence. In 19 cases, variants in 18 non-MD related genes (ADAR, CACNA1A, CDKL5, CLN3, CPS1, DMD, DYSF, GBE1, GFAP, HSD17B4, MECP2, MYBPC3, PEX5, PGAP2, PIGN, PRF1, SBDS, SCN2A) were found.

Ferroptosis-Related Flavoproteins: Their Function and Stability
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Ferroptosis-Related Flavoproteins: Their Function and Stability R. Martin Vabulas Charité-Universitätsmedizin, Institute of Biochemistry, Charitéplatz 1, 10117 Berlin, Germany; [email protected]; Tel.: +49-30-4505-28176 Abstract: Ferroptosis has been described recently as an iron-dependent cell death driven by peroxida- tion of membrane lipids. It is involved in the pathogenesis of a number of diverse diseases. From the other side, the induction of ferroptosis can be used to kill tumor cells as a novel therapeutic approach. Because of the broad clinical relevance, a comprehensive understanding of the ferroptosis-controlling protein network is necessary. Noteworthy, several proteins from this network are flavoenzymes. This review is an attempt to present the ferroptosis-related flavoproteins in light of their involvement in anti-ferroptotic and pro-ferroptotic roles. When available, the data on the structural stability of mutants and cofactor-free apoenzymes are discussed. The stability of the flavoproteins could be an important component of the cellular death processes. Keywords: flavoproteins; riboflavin; ferroptosis; lipid peroxidation; protein quality control 1. Introduction Human flavoproteome encompasses slightly more than one hundred enzymes that par- ticipate in a number of key metabolic pathways. The chemical versatility of flavoproteins relies on the associated cofactors, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinu- cleotide (FAD). In humans, flavin cofactors are biosynthesized from a precursor riboflavin that has to be supplied with food. To underline its nutritional essentiality, riboflavin is called vitamin B2. In compliance with manifold cellular demands, flavoproteins have been accommo- Citation: Vabulas, R.M. dated to operate at different subcellular locations [1].

In this context, we aimed to evaluate the subcellular pH, CTC formation, and pathogenic mutations effects on hAIF stability, and a thermal denaturation high-throughput screening (HTS) assay to discover AIF binders. AU4 c Results: Apoptotic hAIFD1–101 is not stable at intermembrane mitochondrial space (IMS) pH, but the 77–101 residues confer stability to the mitochondrial isoform. hAIF and its CTC populate different conformational ensembles with redox switch to the CTC producing a less stable and compact protein. The pathogenic G308E, DR201, and E493V mutations modulate hAIF stability; particularly, DR201 causes a population shift to a less stable conformation that remodels active site structure and dynamics. We have identified new molecules that modulate the hAIF NADH/NAD+ association/dissociation equilibrium and regulate its catalytic efficiency.

In vivo, LV-10 cells do not cause graft-versus-host disease while mediating graft-versus-leukemia effect against adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Since pediatric AML (pAML) and adult AML are different on a genetic and epigenetic level, we investigate herein whether LV-10 cells also efficiently kill pAML cells. We show that the majority of primary pAML are killed by LV-10 cells, with different levels of sensitivity to killing. Transcriptionally, pAML sensitive to LV-10 killing expressed a myeloid maturation signature.

Sulkowska: [email protected] https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2018.10.012 Edited by James Bowie Abstract Knots in proteins are increasingly being recognized as an important structural concept, and the folding of these peculiar structures still poses considerable challenges. From a functional point of view, most protein knots discovered so far are either enzymes or DNA-binding proteins. Our comprehensive topological analysis of the Protein Data Bank reveals several novel structures including knotted mitochondrial proteins and the most deeply embedded protein knot discovered so far. For the latter, we propose a novel folding pathway based on the idea that a loose knot forms at a terminus and slides to its native position. For the mitochondrial proteins, we discuss the folding problem from the perspective of transport and suggest that they fold inside the mitochondria. We also discuss the evolutionary origin of a novel class of knotted membrane proteins and argue that a novel knotted DNA-binding protein constitutes a new fold.

The Integrated RNA Landscape of Renal Preconditioning Against Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

ABSTRACT Background Although AKI lacks effective therapeutic approaches, preventive strategies using precondi- tioning protocols, including caloric restriction and hypoxic preconditioning, have been shown to prevent injury in animal models. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the enhanced resistance to AKI conferred by such approaches is needed to facilitate clinical use. We hypothesized that these preconditioning strategies use similar pathways to augment cellular stress resistance. Methods To identify genes and pathways shared by caloric restriction and hypoxic preconditioning, we used RNA-sequencing transcriptome profiling to compare the transcriptional response with both modes of preconditioning in mice before and after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Results The gene expression signatures induced by both preconditioning strategies involve distinct com- mon genes and pathways that overlap significantly with the transcriptional changes observed after ischemia-reperfusion injury. These changes primarily affect oxidation-reduction processes and have a major effect on mitochondrial processes. We found that 16 of the genes differentially regulated by both modes of preconditioning were strongly correlated with clinical outcome; most of these genes had not previously been directly linked to AKI.
